// import { configureSitemap } from '@sergeymyssak/nextjs-sitemap';
const { configureSitemap } = require('@sergeymyssak/nextjs-sitemap');
const Sitemap = configureSitemap({
domains: [{ domain: 'example.com', defaultLocale: 'en', http: true }],
exclude: ['/admin/*'],
excludeIndex: true,
pagesConfig: {
'/projects/*': {
priority: '0.5',

With exportPathMap
If you specify nextConfigPath
prop, then all values indicated in the exportPathMap will be automatically added (pages
folder will be ignored).
// import { configureSitemap } from '@sergeymyssak/nextjs-sitemap';
const { configureSitemap } = require('@sergeymyssak/nextjs-sitemap');
const Sitemap = configureSitemap({
exclude: ['/admin'],
excludeIndex: true,
pagesConfig: {
'/p/*': {
priority: '0.5',
changefreq: 'daily',
},
},
nextConfigPath: __dirname + '/next.config.js',
targetDirectory: __dirname + '/public',
pagesDirectory: __dirname + '/src/pages',
});
Sitemap.generateSitemap();
module.exports = {
i18n: {
domains: [
{
domain: 'example.com',
defaultLocale: 'en',
locales: ['en-US', 'en-CA'],
},
],
},
trailingSlash: true,
exportPathMap: async function () {
return {
'/': { page: '/' },
'/admin': { page: '/admin' },
'/p/learn-nextjs': { page: '/post', query: { title: 'learn-nextjs' } },
};
},
};

With dynamic routes
For dynamic routes, you have to declare them with the include
property.
Example src
folder:
└── src
└── pages
├── project
│ └── [id].js
└── index.js
// import { configureSitemap } from '@sergeymyssak/nextjs-sitemap';
const { configureSitemap } = require('@sergeymyssak/nextjs-sitemap');
async function fetchDynamicPaths() {
return ['house', 'flower', 'table'];
}
async function getDynamicPaths() {
const paths = await fetchDynamicPaths();
return paths.map((item) => `/project/${item}`);
}
getDynamicPaths().then((paths) => {
const Sitemap = configureSitemap({
domains: [{ domain: 'example.com', defaultLocale: 'en' }],
include: paths,
exclude: ['/project/*'],
excludeIndex: true,
pagesConfig: {
'/project/*': {
priority: '0.5',
changefreq: 'daily',
},
},
trailingSlash: true,
targetDirectory: __dirname + '/public',
pagesDirectory: __dirname + '/src/pages',
});
Sitemap.generateSitemap();
});

With localization
If you have localization, you can use locales
in domains
prop.
// import { configureSitemap } from '@sergeymyssak/nextjs-sitemap';
const { configureSitemap } = require('@sergeymyssak/nextjs-sitemap');
const Sitemap = configureSitemap({
domains: [{ domain: 'example.com', locales: ['en', 'es'] }],
excludeIndex: true,
trailingSlash: true,
targetDirectory: __dirname + '/public',
pagesDirectory: __dirname + '/src/pages',
});
Sitemap.generateSitemap();

Multiple sitemaps
If the number of urls is more than 50000, then several sitemaps will be automatically created. You can customize the number of urls using sitemapSize
// import { configureSitemap } from '@sergeymyssak/nextjs-sitemap';
const { configureSitemap } = require('@sergeymyssak/nextjs-sitemap');
const Sitemap = configureSitemap({
sitemapUrl: 'https://www.example.com',
sitemapSize: 5000,
pagesConfig: {
'/p/*': {
priority: '0.5',
changefreq: 'daily',
},
},
nextConfigPath: __dirname + '/next.config.js',
targetDirectory: __dirname + '/public',
pagesDirectory: __dirname + '/src/pages',
});

Sitemap methods
generateSitemap
: () => Promise<ISitemapWriterResultItem[]>
;
Generate sitemap
ISitemapWriterResultItem {
name: string; // sitemap file name
count: number; // number of urls
}
regenerateSitemapIndex
: (sitemapsNames: string[]) => void
;
When there are multiple sitemaps, a sitemap index
is generated. If we somehow changed our sitemaps externally, then you can use this function to update sitemap index

Useful information
The value of the hreflang attribute identifies the language (in ISO 639-1 format) and optionally a region (in ISO 3166-1 Alpha 2 format) of an alternate URL.
You can gzip your sitemap.xml. The .gz extension just means that it's been compressed (using gzip compression), so that it's smaller and served faster. Most search engine bots can read gzip'd compressed content.
// import zlib from 'zlib'; // import fs from 'fs'; // import { configureSitemap } from '@sergeymyssak/nextjs-sitemap'; const zlib = require('zlib'); const fs = require('fs'); const { configureSitemap } = require('@sergeymyssak/nextjs-sitemap'); async function getDynamicPaths() { const data = ['house', 'flower', 'table']; return data.map((item) => `/project/${item}`); } getDynamicPaths().then((paths) => { const Sitemap = configureSitemap({ domains: [{ domain: 'example.com', defaultLocale: 'en' }], include: paths, exclude: ['/project/*'], excludeIndex: true, pagesConfig: { '/project/*': { priority: '0.5', changefreq: 'daily', }, }, trailingSlash: true, targetDirectory: __dirname + '/public', pagesDirectory: __dirname + '/src/pages', }); Sitemap.generateSitemap().then(() => { const inp = fs.createReadStream('public/sitemap.xml'); const out = fs.createWriteStream('public/sitemap.xml.gz'); const gzip = zlib.createGzip(); inp.pipe(gzip).pipe(out); fs.unlink('public/sitemap.xml', () => console.log('Sitemap.xml has been deleted!'), ); console.log('Sitemap.xml.gz has been created!'); }); });
